Faculty, Staff, and Graduate Students

At Upper House, we aim to be a resource for those who teach, research, and serve in the university. Our activities—from public events to learning cohorts—help faculty, staff, and graduate students explore, in community, the big questions animating today’s academic landscape.

We encourage the University of Wisconsin-Madison community to connect with us, and here are a few resources to begin your journey.
